He designed them as headline type for the new Localizer volume “Icons”, published by Gestalten Verlag, Berlin. The new books came out first with just one typeface combination, FF Localizer Sans and FF Localizer Italic. But to show the development, without destroying the corporate identity which was mainly determined by the typeface, a re-mix of the FF Localizer family seemed to be a good idea.
